GitDown is an Air application that provides a simulated live preview of GitHub Flavored Markdown.
To open a markdown formatted document click on the Select Markdown File button.
To view changes that you have made to your document click on the Refresh button. A document refresh will also occur when GitDown regains application focus.
To view a cheat sheet of markdown syntax click on the Markdown Cheat Sheet button.
The styling for this application is modeled after GitHub's UI. The Markdown Cheat Sheet is taken from GitHub's MCS. The markdown processing is handled by tanoku's javascript translation of Upskirt called jsupskirt. Unfortunately all references to the Upskirt library have been removed from GitHub.

If a link is clicked where the target is set to self, the apps window will redirect to that web page. Currently there are no controls to reset the app window. You will have to restart the app to exit out of this scenario.
In this implementation of jsupskirt the parsing of the following markdown syntax is not supported and will break the rendering.
```
function foo(){
return "bar";
}
```
```javascript
function foo(){
return "bar";
}
```
<pre>
function foo(){
return "bar";
}
</pre>
<code>
function foo(){
return "bar";
}
</code>
